Wordpress Loop not working

I created a Wordpress loop to loop through some custom posts. It was working fine, but then all of a sudden it stopped. I have no idea why. It will display 1 custom post, but does not show the 4 other custom post. So it's like the loop stops just after one.

here is my code:

<div class="one_half hpeosays animate no-margin" data-anim-type="fadeIn" data-anim-delay="700">

        <h2 class="small">Why Clients <strong>Love Us</strong></h2>

        <div id="owl-demo3" class="owl-carousel small">

            <?php

                $args = array(
                    'post_type' => 'whyclientsloveus'
                );
                $query = new WP_Query( $args );

            ?>

            <?php if( $query->have_posts() ) : while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

            <div>

                <img src="<?php the_field('picture'); ?>" alt="" />

                <p><?php the_field('testimonial_paragraph'); ?></p>

                <b>- <?php the_field('name_of_client_and/or_company'); ?></b>

                <div class="divider_line21 last"></div>

            </div><!-- end section -->

            <?php endwhile; endif; ?> 

        </div>
    </div><!-- end all section -->

Its inside a slider.

any help would be much appreciated

Sweet dude. Glad I could help. Please mark my answer as best answer if you are happy as I accidentally posted a comment earlier. Yes its common practice. You can go here for more info http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query and google around about the WP Query.

<div class="one_half hpeosays animate no-margin" data-anim-type="fadeIn" data-anim-delay="700">

        <h2 class="small">Why Clients <strong>Love Us</strong></h2>

        <div id="owl-demo3" class="owl-carousel small">

            <?php

                $args = array(
                    'post_type' => 'whyclientsloveus'
                    'showposts' => 5,
                );
                $query = new WP_Query( $args );

            ?>

            <?php if( $query->have_posts() ) : while( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>

            <div>

                <img src="<?php the_field('picture'); ?>" alt="" />

                <p><?php the_field('testimonial_paragraph'); ?></p>

                <b>- <?php the_field('name_of_client_and/or_company'); ?></b>

                <div class="divider_line21 last"></div>

            </div><!-- end section -->

            <?php endwhile; endif; ?> 

        </div>
    </div><!-- end all section -->

ghost code

Thanks! It worked! I noticed that you just added 'showpost'...

Is that common practice?
